Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
If you run a business from older premises in Bay View, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Asbestos removal near Bay View
Before removal, the material has to be identified. If it hasn’t been tested, we sample it first, because the method depends on the material. Whether it’s Artex before plastering and vinyl and thermoplastic tiles, we cover water tanks, cement soffits and flue pipes and more.
In Bay View, waste may have a long carry to the vehicle, so we plan the route before the day. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Common questions in Bay View
Do older homes in Bay View have asbestos?
Any home in Bay View built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like Bay View?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
How can I get a price?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
What it might be made of
Textured coatings
Taking the boards down can be an alternative.
Floor tiles
Vinyl and thermoplastic tiles are lifted whole where possible with hand tools and wetting, never with sanders or grinders.
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
Limits to be aware of
A few things to be aware of:
- Removal in strong wind or heavy rain may need rescheduling
- Lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board are licensed work
- Some jobs must be notified first, which affects the start date
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Common materials
- Garage and shed roofs
- Floor tiles and adhesive
- Artex and textured coatings
- Bitumen roof felt
- Asbestos cement sheets
- Panels and boards
- Gutters and downpipes
- Flue pipes
- Water tanks
- Soffits (cement)
After we have finished in Bay View
If other asbestos remains in the building, it should still be recorded and managed, for anyone working there later.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Book the replacement before removal
- Move belongings away, but leave the asbestos alone
- Let neighbours know if work is near them
- Photos of the material and the route in help
Don’ts
Never sweep or vacuum asbestos debris; keep people away and ask for advice.
Do not put asbestos in household bins or skips.
